Garage Sale--sale---saale---saaaaaale

Thursday, April 15, 2010

We found this, by Grant Burke, which will most definitely find a spot in our home:

Good ole Memphis skyline. Awesome, right?

Next, in cleaning out Jonny's closet last night, I came across a few old notebooks from the end o' college. Thought I'd share.

I took Italian 506 (that's 5 hrs, introductory level) my final semester senior year. After seven years of French, I needed 5 hrs of some sort of miscellaneous credit, and I knew it would be fun to gain some general knowledge of Italian.

This is also the semester that Jonny and I got engaged and were falling mucho-in-love.

The following was most definitely/probably an attempt to make him love me even more.

From the inside back cover of my Italian notebook:

My favorite memory jogged by finding this list was number 1: "...writes with a mechanical pencil and erases with a click eraser."

C'mon, that is STILL funny. Macho-college-guy with a click eraser.

Anyone?

Then, there was this gem of a notepad, with would-you-rather type questions.

Sorry these are fuzzy, but some of the high points are:

- Would you rather sweat chalk dust or liquid jello?

- Would you rather wait by the side of the highway, having run out of gas for 8 hrs with no food/water OR wait in the DMV every day for 8 hrs/day for one week with no other human being, book, TV, or any form of entertainment?

- Which would you choose: to watch a 3-hour silent puppet show OR only be able to watch Steven Segal movies for the next 10 years?

- Would you rather have unlimited access to any book with no intelligent human interaction OR have solely humorous/joking human conversations and no access to written information of any kind?

Anyone got any answers?

[For more "asking" amusement, may I suggest a visit to the wonderful AskingCanBeFun?]

I'll leave you with this adorable image that some of you caught on facebook yesterday. The turtle that Jonny spotted in our courtyard [I told you he loves turtles].

This one's just slightly bigger than a grape.

In the turtle's (and J's) honor, I am wearing this turtle dress today:
